Disney World Days 3 and 4

We started Day 3 at Animal Kingdom again. I really love it there. This beautiful faux tree is massive and the trunk is shows various carved animals.  So cool.


Then we had a behind-the scenes elephants tour. We got to see some of the males hanging out and sparring. 
These elephants put their trunks in each other's mouths. The caretaker said this was unusual and showed that there was a lot of trust between them.
We got to see sparring between the younger males. It was pretty aggressive for a few minutes.
It was great to see them up close!
Then we ran into Kevin, it was like he stepped right out of the movie "Up".  So fun!
Then we went back to the hotel to rest and have a snack.  They have such yummy, fancy food there!
That night we did the after-hours party at Epcot. I liked the frozen ride and Mark loved the Cosmic Rewind Ride. 

The next day we went back for another elephant tour (they're my favorite). We got to see the Mom and baby up close for just a minute and it was so fun.  Right before the tour ended they trotted past, such a blessing.
Then we went on the safari ride and saw the mom and baby elephant again and some other animals.


After the safari ride, we made a last minute decision to go to Tusker House for dinner.  The food was amazing and it was surprisingly fun to have the characters come visit us.


We ended our trip with a visit to Hollywood Studios at Sunset.  We did our favorite ride- Rise of the Resistance and we watched Fantasmic.
Overall the trip was wonderful. I hope we can go again someday!
